Show or Hide the Section Tabs in the Document Viewer
Learn how to show or hide the Section Tabs in the Document Viewer for recipients. This guide explains where to find the toggle in the Document Editor and how controlling section navigation can improve the viewing experience for your recipients.
Frequently Asked Questions
Where do I find the toggle to show or hide the Section Tabs in the Document Viewer?
Open the document in the Document Editor and look for the Document Viewer controls or settings panel. There you’ll find the Section Tabs toggle that lets you show or hide the navigation tabs for recipients.
Will the Section Tabs change take effect when I use preview mode in the editor?
No. The Section Tabs setting only applies to the Document Viewer that recipients see. Editor preview mode does not reflect this toggle, so use the Document Viewer to test recipient behavior.
Can recipients still navigate the document if the Section Tabs are hidden?
Yes. Hiding the Section Tabs only removes the sidebar navigation shortcuts. Recipients can still scroll through and read the full document normally in the viewer.
Does hiding Section Tabs remove or hide the actual content of the document?
No. Hiding Section Tabs only removes the navigation tabs from the viewer; all document content remains visible to recipients unless you explicitly hide sections using Manage Section Visibility.
Can I hide a specific section tab and its content from recipients?
If you need to hide a specific section and its content, use the Manage Section Visibility feature. That tool controls both tab visibility and section content access independently of the Section Tabs toggle.
Who can change the Section Tabs visibility setting?
Anyone with access to edit the document in the Document Editor—such as document owners or users with edit permissions—can toggle the Section Tabs setting.
Does the Section Tabs setting apply to all recipients and future sends of the document or template?
The setting is saved on the document as configured in the Document Editor. Recipients will see the Document Viewer according to that setting until you change it, so it persists for subsequent viewers of that document or template.
How does showing or hiding Section Tabs improve the recipient experience in quote or proposal software?
Controlling Section Tabs helps you simplify the viewer UI for recipients, reducing distraction and guiding their focus. In sales quoting software and sales proposal software contexts, hiding tabs can create a cleaner, more linear reading experience while still keeping all content accessible.
